Chapter 43: The Backyard of Pei's Mansion

At this moment, Qu Xiaomo was waiting for Jin Zhen in his spare time, and asked in his spare time: "The big shopkeeper, you said that this Pei Xuanqing was stabbed so heavily by me, why didn't he come to trouble me?" ”

Jin Yu turned his head to look at her, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want him to come?" ”

"No, no, no!" Qu Xiaomo waved his hand again and again: "How is that possible, I'm just curious about why he didn't come." ”

Jin Zhen glanced at her, and the corners of his lips hooked up a touch of mockery: "He doesn't have time to come now, his father is looking for him." ”

"Can't! It's only been a few days since this concubine was taken, because what does the shopkeeper know? ”

"It's not convenient for you to talk about business, don't worry, he won't come back to you." Jin Yu said firmly

Then she can rest assured, the words that come out of the golden sting's mouth still have some credibility.

Since she was kidnapped, the matter of buying rice grain and meat has been handed over to Jin Shisan, so that he has to go to the road, and the people in the village also know it, because he came out as Jin Yu's cousin, and his appearance is still medium, which must be much better than the crop man who rolls in the mud every day, and many undecided girls in the village have secretly agreed, and they can get one or two red envelopes and handkerchiefs from time to time when they go out to buy vegetables.

Looking at the extra mandarin duck playing in the basket and the flower blossoming rich sachet in the basket when he went out to buy vegetables today, although the fabric is a little poor, but the embroidery is not bad, Qu Xiaomo picked it up and looked at it, and joked with him as usual: "I said Brother Thirteen, why don't you really pick a pleasing one from this village, I'm afraid that the big shopkeeper is going to open an embroidery workshop like this." ”

"Phew!" Jin Shisan spat at her: "You think everyone is like you, following those big girls all day long, if I like it, I still need to say it." ”

Qu Xiaomo laughed twice: "Yesterday, the girl from Aunt Li's family asked me what you like to eat, and I said that you like to eat crabs the most, and she said that she would catch a basket for you." ”

"When did I say I like crabs?" Jin Thirteen said with a rare glare at the pair of squinting eyes that obviously couldn't see the pupils

"Isn't this the best use of things, you see that the big shopkeeper is tired of eating fish and chicken, and you are tired of eating meat, you give up your life and sell some good color for him to try it." In fact, Jin Yu did not say that he must eat crabs, but he is indeed tired of eating big fish and meat, the last time he went to the river to wash clothes, he turned over a stone, and saw that there were crabs and he was greedy, although the river crabs are not as good as sea crabs, but now is the time when the crab roe is thick, how to say that there is also a little crab meat, in fact, in the final analysis, she wants to eat.

Jin Shisan was really angry when he saw her cheap appearance and wanted to cut the sword on the spot, but he still endured it, closed his eyes suddenly, and jumped out of the yard.

Qu Xiaomo looked at a few Jin Thirteen who disappeared without a trace in a light leap, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.

Jin Zhen, who had just walked out of the door, happened to see her smug smile, flashed slightly, and then came out and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Qu Xiaomo didn't intend to hide it, so he smiled and said: "You don't know, the girl from Aunt Li's family has taken a fancy to the thirteenth brother, and when I asked me what he likes to eat, I said that he wanted to eat crabs, and the girl will catch it tomorrow, let's wait to eat." ”

Jin Yu looked at her with a smug smile and a hint of satisfaction, and slightly hooked his lips, and said, "The river crab has less meat, and it can make you happy like this." ”

Qu Xiaomo said: "Big shopkeeper, it's good to have river crabs, where to find sea crabs at this time, and it's autumn now, there are many female crabs, and river crabs can also be eaten." ”

Jin Yu smiled and said: "When you get to the hidden capital, there are a lot of crabs there, don't get tired of eating it when the time comes." ”

"Really?" Qu Xiaomo's eyes widened in surprise, and when he saw Jin Yu nodding, he hurriedly asked, "When will we leave, big shopkeeper?" ”

"I'm waiting for five days, and the Pei family's affairs are over."

Qu Xiaomo also revealed some dishes in his words, and the two sons of the Pei family who stayed in the capital were involved in a life lawsuit, although there is a prince An, but this kind of thing that involves human life can naturally be ignored, and besides, he is just a small businessman who is attached to himself, and he can't be poked in the backbone by everyone for them.

Now the eldest son and second son of the Pei family have been imprisoned, and the Pei family, who is over sixty years old, and the younger son Pei and his younger son are rushing to the capital, and I don't know if they will be able to see each other for the last time.

And Zhou Mei was left in the mansion of Ning County, but there is still a housemother in the house, and there are many aunts and concubines below, and I don't know if she, a country girl, can wait for Pei Xuanqing to come back safely, after all, the whole Ning County is rumored that the housemother Pan is a powerful person, how ruthless it is to learn from the concubine, this Pei Xuanqing is not in the mansion, isn't it her world, if Zhou Mei is not too favored when Pei Xuanqing is there, it would be better, if she is favored... Hehehe~ It's dead!

At this moment, Zhou Mei was just as Qu Xiaomo expected, wearing a pink dress and a precious head, kneeling on a pile of broken porcelain tiles, and Pan's was also wearing a bright red brocade robe, although it was a little cheesy, but it was better than the color, and there were five or six beauties with different postures sitting on both sides of it.

Pan Shi took a leisurely sip of tea with the teacup, and then put it down heavily on the table next to him, and let out a crisp sigh: "Aunt Zhou, do you know your mistake." ”

Zhou Mei, who was kneeling at the bottom, shrank slightly in fright, she just got up late this morning, and blamed Cui'er who was serving her for not being able to call herself on time, and asked her to come late for a cup of tea, and she was about to be punished at this time.

Zhou Mei was born in a peasant family, and she is not as squeamish as those young ladies, and she can strictly bear this kind of thing when she kneels to break porcelain, but it is also very painful.

Quietly kneeling and didn't dare to move, only to hear Pan Shi who was sitting on the top say again: "Master, it's only been a few days since I left the house, and you are getting lazier and lazier, and you can even be late for a cup of tea for such a thing as inviting An, it seems that you don't take me, the housewife, in your eyes!" ”

Zhou Mei didn't dare to speak, and among the warblers and Yanyan who were sitting on the side, a woman in yellow and wearing a pair of eye-piercing jade bracelets chuckled lightly and said: "It's not, some people just rely on this son to win the favor of the master, and no one looks down on it, and the newcomers are always like this." ”

Pan Shi raised his eyelids and glanced at the woman in yellow, and said coldly: "What you said reminds me of when you entered the door when you were new." ”

The smile on the woman in yellow stiffened when she heard this, and she said with a little embarrassment: "Back then, Li'er was also ignorant and reckless, so don't remember it, Madame!" ”

Pan Shi just glanced at her and then lowered his eyes slightly, and the other aunts sitting on the side secretly suppressed the smile on their lips, this Lu Li is used to not being able to speak, and he wanted to pat Pan's ass at this time, but he didn't think that he was patted on the horse's leg.

But at this moment, Pan didn't want to worry about her, so he only looked up at Zhou Mei on the ground, and said: "Zhou, this is just a small punishment, I understand that you have just entered the mansion for a few days and don't know the rules of the mansion. ”

As he spoke, he got up and said to the concubines who were doing it: "I am also tired, you all disperse!" ”

Saying that, with the help of the grandmother on the side, he turned around and entered the screen inside, and the aunts who were sitting got up one after another to worship the blessings, and only got up after the screen disappeared, and each helped his personal maid out of the main hall door, and the beauty glanced at Zhou Mei who was kneeling on the ground.

Only Lu Li snorted disdainfully when he walked by his side, and then he took the maid's hand and twisted the willow waist back to the yard.

Zhou Mei knelt under the eyes of the servants for an hour, although her body was still strong, her face was already pale at this moment, and she staggered back to the courtyard with Cui'er's support.

Lying on the bed, let Cui'er use a clip to take out the porcelain fragments trapped in the flesh, so painful that she snorted, and the doctor was late for a while, and brought the second-class girl from Pan's courtyard, with a high-minded appearance, she ordered the doctor to give Zhou Mei medicine, and then said in a hanging voice: "Mrs. said, Aunt Zhou, you have an injury on your leg, you don't have to go to ask for peace these days, and the food also makes the kitchen lighter, you can recuperate in the house." ”

Zhou Mei propped herself up and thanked her, and asked Cui'er to send someone out of the yard before lying on the bed again, looking at the green radish tent and sighing softly.

Originally, she thought that Pei Xuanqing was there when she entered Pei's mansion, even if it was rumored that Pan was a tigress, she could also live under her hands, and after a good night, he also promised not to let her be bullied, but he didn't expect that it was only a few days, and he was going to be locked up in the yard to recuperate.

However, after a few days of wearing gold, silver, big fish and meat, she did not regret entering Pei's mansion to become a concubine, that day Qu Xiaomo stabbed Pei Xuanqing, she stayed by her side to serve, originally wanted to go back later, but she didn't expect Pei Xuanqing to pretend to be in pain and let her blow the wind, and this blow was taken to the bed, and she agreed under some sweet words and countless assurances.

thought that after becoming Pei's aunt, she would be able to eat and drink spicy and happy every day, but the hand that had wanted to kick Pei Xuanqing the next day to find trouble with Qu Xiaomo was told that there was a big man behind this woman, and she couldn't move, so angry that she wanted to drop the cup, but she got his assurance, and it would definitely embarrass that woman.

But within two days, the Pei family had another accident, and after asking Pei Xuanqing, he didn't say anything, only said that he was going to Beijing for a big trip, and it was only a few days, and he was bullied by the housewife.

However, this Pan family estimated that she was using her to kill chickens and monkeys, and she was still obediently recuperating from her leg during this time, and she didn't pay attention to the outside affairs, although her background was not better than that of those aunts from petty officials and rich families in the house, but at least she still had a little brain, and she could see the situation clearly, and the backyard of the Pei family was lively.

Seeing Cui'er, who sent people away, walking in, Zhou Mei's eyes narrowed slightly.
